There are walking paths, a playground, an ice house, mountain bike tracks and shelters The area has a varied nature with many bushes with small birds such as Putter, Geelgors and Grasmus. There are also areas with reed beds where there are Kleine Karekiet, Rietzanger and Rietgors.
Many waterfowl are seen in the fjord and in winter large flocks of Knobbelzwaan, Meerkoet are seen, and it is an important wintering site for Dodaars.

Stige Ø nord is the area north of the parking lot at Sortehusene. It is characterized by meadow areas. You enter the area through a gate, as there are livestock. There are several wading birds in the area and in winter you can see Velduil. You also get quite close to Vigelsø, where Zeearend often is seen hunting.

Toegang
Stige Ø is located just north of the city of Odense. There is no public transport. You can get there by car or bike. The parking lot by the ice cream shop is the best starting point. The parking lot at Sortehusene is the best starting point if you want to go out to Stige Ø north. Press on a P on the map for directions to one of the parkings. During weekends and school holidays there can often be quite a lot of people out here, but you can still often find some quiet areas where you can watch birds.
